Reiner Braun: Prospects for Peace

“We need much more contact and networking between the different peace groups [and] the social movement in the world. And this is one of the reasons I’m coming to the [United] States to discuss with friends and colleagues about these big challenges we are facing.” -Reiner Braun, International Peace Bureau.

Reiner Braun is an internationally renowned German peace activist and author. He currently serves as a Co-President of the International Peace Bureau.

“This policy of militarism is connected to a politics of confrontation; about war between NATO and Russia, but also between the U.S. and China. No problem in the world can be solved by confrontation of politics. We need dialogue, negotiations, and contact between the governments and also the people.”

Mr. Braun will discuss the growing militarization around the world and the deterioration of relations between the various countries. He will also discuss how the governments and citizens can begin to improve relations and move towards peace.
